However, an asteroid discovered earlier this month - ZJ99C60, spotted on May 8 - turned out to be a blast from the past as astronomers realized it was actually 2010 WC9 coming back after nearly eight years. Just recently, asteroid 2018 GE3 zipped by our planet and barely missed hitting it, and it was discovered only after it had already passed.

The near-Earth asteroid 2010 WC9, which is thought to be between 125 feet and 390 feet (38 to 119 meters) wide, will get within 126,000 miles (203,000 kilometers) of Earth tomorrow evening (May 15) - about half the distance between our planet and the moon.

"2010 WC9 is expected to reach 11th magnitude on the day of closest approach (May 15th), bright enough to be seen with a small telescope".

The asteroid, which has the catchy name Asteroid 2010 WC9, is estimated to have a diameter between about 175 and 400 feet (50 to 120 meters) and was first discovered eight years ago by the Catalina Sky Survey in Arizona.

Asteroids are small, rocky objects that orbit the Sun. "Our display will update every five seconds", Guy Wells, the founding member of the observatory, told EarthSky.
